Drivers side front door handle stopped working, window needs to be down in order to open door. If in an accident or fire driver will need assistance in exiting car. This is proven by all other complaints to be common with this vehicle and in hazardous situations potentially fatal unless government steps in and demands recall. Dealer wants $300.00+ to fix, have already spent $3000.00+ at dealer on computer failures and left side driver door window assembly failure.
